Abstract:
A method and apparatus in a user equipment transmit a subframe shared by multiple users through a dual-antenna transmission scheme by using space-time coding. A first and a second plurality of modulation symbols are generated. A third and a fourth plurality of modulation symbols are generated by performing Alamouti coding on each pair of modulation symbols in each of the first and second pluralities of modulation symbols. A spread matrix is generated for each modulation symbol such that the first and third pluralities of modulation symbols are mapped to a first slot of the subframe, and the second and third pluralities of modulation symbols are mapped to a second slot of the subframe. The subframe is transmitted such that the first and second pluralities of modulation symbols are transmitted via a first antenna, and the third and fourth pluralities of modulation symbols are transmitted via a second antenna.
Abstract:
A quantization method of transmission of channel quality information (CQI) includes measuring two measurements SINRs and calculating a difference (i.e., Delta SINR) between the two measurements of the SINRs; determining a CQIbase (base channel quality information) based on one of the two measurements SINRs and a known quantization table for the CQIbase, and simultaneously receiving cell-specific or UE-specific parameters transmitted from a base station and configuring a quantization table defining a mapping method of CQIdelta (delta channel quality information) and the Delta SINR and determining the CQIdelta based on the obtained Delta SINR and the configured quantization table; and transmitting the resulting CQIdelta and CQIbase.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting a control channel format indicator (CCFI), also known as PCFICH (Physical Control Format Indicator Channel), in case where the length of a coded CCFI is not an integer multiple of three, including mapping a plurality of two-bit CCFI into a codebook with each component codeword having three bits; generating a sequence of codewords selected from the codebook by repeating the selected component codeword for predetermined times; generating a codeword by concatenating the sequence of the selected component codewords with the original CCFI bits; and transmitting the codeword carrying information of CCFI. The method further includes a step of generating a permutation of each of the four codewords by assigning K repetitions of the three-bit component codeword to the number of K resource units respectively and mapping remaining K bits of each of the four codewords separately to the number of K resource units.

Methods and apparatus for remapping and regrouping transmission resources in a wireless communication system. First, a set of new permutation algorithms based on Galois field operation is proposed. Then the proposed algorithms and the known Pruned Bit Reversal Ordering (PBRO) algorithm are applied to several of various resource mapping schemes, including slot or symbol level Orthogonal Cover (OC)/Cyclic Shift (CS) mapping, cell-specific slot-level and symbol-level CS hopping patterns, and subframe and slot level base sequence hopping patterns.

Abstract:
A mobile station capable of accessing a wireless network comprising a plurality of macro-base stations and a plurality of femto-base stations. The mobile station comprises: 1) a transceiver that communicates with the macro-base stations and femto-base stations; 2) a message processor coupled to the transceiver; and 3) a memory coupled to the message processor that stores a white list of CSGID values associated with at least one closed subscription group to which the mobile station subscribes. The message processor transmits to a first macro-base station a first control message that contains at least one CSGID value from the white list. The message processor receives from the first macro-base station a second control message that contains the information of at least one femto-base station (FBS) identifier associated with the at least one CSGID value. The mobile station uses the information of the at least one FBS identifier to access a first femto-base station associated with the at least one FBS identifier.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for configuring Enhanced Multicast and Broadcast Service (E-MBS) Scheduling Intervals (MSIs) in a communication system are provided. The method includes selecting a number N of MSIs, and selecting a periodicity of each of the N MSIs. By selecting a number N of MSIs and a periodicity of each of the N MSIs, a communication system is able to more efficiently decode E-MBS data.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for adaptively adjusting a threshold relating to a loading condition of a communication link. The threshold (e.g., rise over thermal (ROT) threshold) is adaptively adjusted the threshold based on an overshoot rate parameter that specifies number of times a target rate is exceeded and based on number of occurrences of an overshoot event.
Abstract:
An approach is provided for addressing in a multiple carrier communication system. In one embodiment, a group index is assigned to a group of terminals of a communication network. The group index permits sharing of addressing indices supported by the communication network for transmission of data to the group of terminals. In another embodiment, a plurality of terminals is classified using preamble indices corresponding to the terminals into one or more classes. A multi-user packet, which utilizes the preamble indices to activate only a class of the terminals for processing the multi-user packet, is generated.
